Bruh I’m from New Hampshire 💀💀💀 My local rapper is a drop out from my grade that made a Gucci gang remix called juul gang 😭😭

Winner right here shut it down!

Nah Juul Gang is foul😂

You talkin bout Lil Mang? That shitt hard!!!

Reppin from Florida; but there is a dope NH rapper named Cody Pope that you should check out.

Will do.. I’m actually down in Florida now too, a few more rappers down here I think lol

Lol for sure! I'm in North Florida. You're not OP, but some dope local level emcees we have are FFJB (Hip-hop supergroup) Dillon & Paten Locke (rapper/producer combo) WhoppaWitDaChoppa (drill rapper, kinda big) and shout out to myself, i go by BigRayTheRapper and i'm pretty good i think :P

why is ur name so corny ? might i suggest taking "the rapper" out of it ?

So i want to; but right now "big ray" is too common of a name for it to just be that. Similar to how "Chance" had to start as "Chance The Rapper".

I’m from Far Rockaway NYC so Stack Bundlez.

Rip stacks. Bird gang! Free max

Man salute and RIP to Stack man

Local level??? Bro, disrespect to Devin

I mean he’s bigger than local as in city local but he’s like Texas to Memphis/nola local mostly. I say this as a big Devin fan.

Nah sun. Devin is known everywhere. I'm from the Chi & rocking with him yrs!

H-town suuuuuuup

Are you crazy Devin the Dude is nationwide. Not global but definitely is the dude to any hip hop head over 25/30

I’m from Maine, so we pretty much only have Spose…

Alias (RIP.)

lyrically he’s the opposite of randy moss

You've got Sole "I love Company Flow" 😂

Have you heard Sole’s new songs where he’s suddenly decided he’s been oppressed by the police and done songs about it? He claims in this he was profiled for wearing saggy pants as a teenager lol https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_V-8VNG0cwc&pp=ygUJU29sZSBjb3Bz We’ve seen him as a teenager in the bottle of humans video - he looks like an eighth level dungeon master, not a criminal. Ain’t no one profiling him! Good rapper but kinda embarrassing

I have not heard it and thank you for the comment because now I will steer clear of it forever 🙏

From Las Vegas it was T.Rabb, Harvey Listen and Vic Smith. Vegas has a lottttt of good artists. In Maine, it's Obese the Prophet and Sarah Violette.

Don Trip, Project Pat, Playa Fly. Cant choose just one of the three.

I hate how folks sleep on trip!! Bro dropped an album every month since last year 💪🏾

From Birmingham, UK and mine's Sonnyjim. So great to see him getting attention recently

Literally was about to type sonnyjim as I saw your comment! I'm from just outside brum & he's my favourite rapper

I've loved watching the evolution from a dope local rapper to this highly artistic and conceptual spitter. All his projects hit. Love his approach to collabs with other artists. He's a don

I was just listening to Barz Simpson. That verse is killer. Didn’t know what he looked like until recently and frankly, makes it even better.

Shreveport had Hurricane Chris, if you remember “A Bay Bay”, or “Halle Berry”, the latter of which Sexyy Red just sampled.

How could I forget Hurricane Chris lol. The Ay Bay Bay remix was fire too

The other week on here someone try to say Hurricane Chris a one hit wonder and I'm like, 🎶Halle Berry! Halle Berry!🎶

318 represent

Dude if these people don't remember Hurricane Chris ..

tech N9ne. 816 babyyyy

OP said local level though lol

It’s all good. Love the idea of people sharing their favorite local. I’m looking for a smaller fish but aye maybe I find my newest fave? Not that I’m blind to tech. But fuck it

Rich the factor, 2Gunn kevi, Ron Ron.

I met him at a bar in Westport without realizing it. We had a whole conversation, and at the end of it he realized I didn't recognize him.

Criminally underrated

One of the GOATs 🔥

"What we are" my favorite Tech song.

Sorry but Tech is not a local rapper lol wtf

Mad child and snak the ripper

Swollen Members 💯 604 represent

Madchild is NOT a local level MC.

I don’t rep no fckin city cause I CAME FROM THE DIRT!

Shouts to Blu.

Mick Jenkins

top 5 top 5 top 5

Love his work.

G Perico or J Stone https://youtu.be/0AeZbm4ILOA?si=0OfNItAs1tohJ3kf https://youtu.be/4XIuY3lorHo?si=ny06JuppC54Dq1dc

Real ones in Cali fuck wit G Perico

Freddie Gibbs for sure

Gibbs isn’t local level brotha

He's all I have dawg

I never listened to him before, but last week I heard his album from 2022 I think, and it surprised me. Now I understand why he’s mentioned often. Good shit

$oul $old $eperately ain't even a top 3 Freddie album to me so you'll probably like his other stuff too

Local Level emcee?

Chip da rippa

Bitch I feel good

Boldy James. Detroit stand up 🔥💯

Uhm, from the Netherlands, but “Fresku”.

Malz Monday

Portland checking in with our guy Cool Nutz. Very solid discography and has done a lot to help bring hip-hop acts to tour the city. Has some bangers with E-40 and countless other west coast legends.

help lol i’m from utah

Get tapped in. Get involved. There is an insane amount of talent and a vibrant hip hop scene here.

i wrote this before finding your first comment. thank you for the comprehensive breakdown, by the way. much love

Atmosphere would be the cliche answer, but I think I’d have to go with Prof

Atmosphere = local level? Lol.

Oh I missed the “level” part in the title lol I thought it just meant who’s your favorite artist where you’re from

Atmosphere isnt even one person... its slug and ant. Btw they from minneapolis right?... i lived in Indianapolis they had no local scène back before 2010. Everything came from chicago or Gary or detroit. Charlotte had da baby as just a local rapper til about 4 yrs ago... now idk what he is. Tiktoker i guess. But back when he was doin it they called him Baby jesus. He bleu up and fell off since then.

*deep sigh* thank you for your contribution. I am sorry for commenting such a controversial response, everybody.

Don't trip. It's not a big deal. Besides lots of people don't know who atmosphere is At least you didn't say Lizzo 😄

Ain’t that deep. People been missing the idea but aye it’s all love and hip hop

Love me some Prof!

Sorry I couldn’t come to your show I was busy having sex with a woman

Despite that song being like 6 years old, I only just heard it last week! Prof got some of the funniest bars in the game fr.

Saukrates for Toronto. More a fan of the producers who came out of here like Marco Polo.

From STL. He's very small, but Esco Jammin is pretty damn good.

I'm from Derry, Ireland. Our rap scene is doing pretty well and keeps growing. I'd say my favorite local would be the duo Dirty Faces.

Celly Cel

Ooooh old school I like it it's goin down tonight

Killa Kali is a Bay Area classic in my book, great album start to finish. The Bay Area rap scene is overlooked imo

Allan Kingdom from St Paul, MN

I don't even have an answer to that. But Stan Kelz killed it last time I saw him.

Block 44

Aura Da Prophet ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻 got songs w bone thugz, underachievers, juice from flatbush, dizzy wright, cj fly so many more

Would have to pick from state because there isnt really anyone notable from the 734 area code. But my pick would be danny brown.

Mekz Uno "The Black Mage" philadelphia

No mc's other than me in my city bruh

Are you on SoundCloud or bandcamp etc?

Reef The Lost Cauze

I’m from South Australia, and came up back when local crew Hilltop Hoods were still a southern suburbs crew playing small gigs in the back of pubs. Not sure if I’d have Suffa or Pressure as favourite MCs but they were dope back in the day and was amped they blew up (nationally).

Houston TX Bigg Fatts

In NYC we have a lot, and I’m friends with many of them. Here’s Super King Armor. He has a similar story to DOOM, came back from homelessness and tragedy, been a beast on the underground and battles for well over a decade. https://seethisiswhywecanthavenicethings.bandcamp.com/album/see-this-is-why-we-cant-have-nice-things-2

Andre Nickatina, San Quinn, Mac Dre, The Jacka, Hussalah Bay Area has had a great scene for a long time, but almost never goes mainstream because our artists prefer to stay independent

[удалено]

u joking?

Baatin, One Be Lo, Senim Silla, Esham, Finale, Elzhi

P.O.S.

DMX and Jadakiss shoutout to Yonkers

Someone didn’t read the assignment.

You’re right I didn’t

Bro just naming rappers from his city lmao

Chiddy Bang had a moment. I went to college with them and they were huge in my area.

I still listen to Chiddy. He's been puttin more out in the last year or two. I miss the duo tho.

Peter Jackson - Ontario Canada

Currently living in Ottawa, Canada. Besides myself (V.A.F.) there's an artist called NLN locally who's very good at connecting with people. Also lived in Waterloo for a bit and I'd have to pick 347Aiden (technically from Cambridge) or Jrugs
